the sound, always one of the its strong points, gets a
considerable boost in the form of 12 CD-quality music
tracks from the likes of Tim Simenon and Betty Boo to bop

along to as you play,

The “album” of tracks includes a remix of Megablast
produced specially for the game. The music uses the new
Roland Sound Space (RSS) sytem to produce some mind:
blowing special effects. Other minor Improvements include
an ingame instruction manual and a variety of foreign

wages - including Xenite.

Xenon 2 is due for release later this month at a

new label devoted

crannies sports
simulations kicks off this
Autumn — courtesy of,

Audiogenic. The first game
in the new Sports Action
range will be a rugby
simulation, which should
appear in September to
coincide with the World
Cup.

Following that it’s
anybody's guess, although
Audiogenic is planning to
release about four or five

a year. According to

Audiogenic boss Peter
Calver, the impetus for the
new range comes from

looking at Cinemaware’s
TV Sports games and
deciding that Audiogenic
could do better. Sounds
like a pretty tall order.

_ EVE OF THE STORM

Two hundred and sixteen years into the future, mankind
has at last defeated disease, poverty and hunger. In an
‘effort to boost flagging viewing figures, the three huge
holovision conglomerates have lobbied the interplanetary
legisiature for many months. Finally they got their way; the
creation of law-free zones, where anything can happen and
does.

By law, all activity in the law-free zones must be filmed
for the networks and millions of slavering viewers, who can
now see death and destruction as it happens for real!

The first such zone was to be Jupiter. With Its hostile
‘environment, the planet proved to be a perfect location for
the acts of violence which were to beamed back from it.
Within two days blood-hungry audiences were watching the
Planet's first assignment of hunters killing Jupiter's
inhabitan

of gameplay. With @ myriad of missions to complete
you'll certainly have your work c trying to survive In
the hostile environment of Jupiter's gaseous atmosphere,

Koop an eye out for Eye of the Storm, It looks like It's
going to be abig hit.

Psygnosis' Barbarian continues to keep audiences
enthralled with its animated characters, atmospheric
sound effects and depth of play. And even today, some four
years since its initial release, it still looks good!

Now Psygnosis bring Hegor screaming into the 903.
Before the demonic dust can settle in Necron's dark and
dingy dungeons, his minions chant iniquitous incantations
in an effort to bring their slain leader back to life.

‘You, as Hegor the Barbarian, must drag yourself from
your comfortable life of wine, women and more women to
‘one again face the magical malevolence of Necron.

Boginning in the village of Thelston, you must fight your
way through a barbaric land, dodging deadly traps and
dealing with dastardly enemies before entering the final
conflict with Necron deep in his temple sanctuary. Only
when you have destroyed the Necromancer can you put a
stop to the evil that is slowly corrupting the land,

Due for an autumn release, Barbarian If will be available
for the Amiga and ST at a cost of £25.99
